Primary School" --- # Playground Pioneers: Future Engineers in the Making! ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/images/blog/IMG_0242.JPG) 2 October 2026 [Year 6 Blog](https://ststephenscofe.durham.sch.uk/blog/category/year-6-blog) Class 6 have been working really hard on their DT project - Playground Pioneers. They have had to explore different structures and design their own playground equipment on TinkerCAD taking into account constraints. Children have then made their own prototypes using a variety of materials and developed skills such as using a saw safely. Great work Class 6- I think we may have some future engineers in the class!
